Wrist tendinitis is common for people who work a lot on the computer.
But it can cause wrist pain or elbow pain for a long time!
To fix the pain, physical therapy can be useful. But it's rarely enough if you don't fix the causes: pain does not occur by chance! If you body screams, it is because you misuse it. That's why understanding ergonomics and posture is crucial.
In this case, you need to look at what you do with the extensor carpi muscles (wrist extensor muscles), but also at the neck.
Here the 4 most direct causes of wrist and elbow pain are explained:
- wrist extension
- wrist lateral deviation
- pinching, gripping or any other type of strength exertion with your fingers
- pronation.
You will understand why wrist tendonitis is often related to the type of mouse that you use, and how a wrist rest or a vertical mouse may help (e.g. Logitech MX Vertical). But I will also show you that using the scroll wheel isn't a great idea, and why keyboard shortcuts are better than the scroll wheel. ---
Pain in the back, shoulder, arms or any other musculoskeletal pain should not govern your life.
A lot of the pain you feel is caused or aggravated by wrong posture, poor ergonomics and a lack of specific exercises for your muscles and joints. Giving you the tools to resolve these issues is the reason why I created this self care channel.
